In accordancewith R.C.SA. § 16-SOj-73, a copy of this letter is being sent to First Selectman Juan Roman III, Elected Official,and Jay Gigliotti, Zoning Enforcement Officer, as well as the tower and property owner.
The planned modifications to the facility fall squarely within those activities explicitly provided for inR.C.S;A. § 16-50j-72(b)(2).
1. The proposed modifications will not result in an increase in the height of the existing structure.
2. The proposed modifications will not require the extension of the site boundary.
3. The proposed modifications will not increase noise levels at the facility by six decibels or more, or to levelsthat exceed state and local criteria.
4. The operation of the replacement antennas will not increase radio frequency emissions at the facility to alevel at or above the Federal Communications Commission safety standard.
5. The proposed modifications will not cause a change or alteration in the physical or environmentalcharacteristics of the site.
6. The existing structure and its foundation can support the proposed loading.
For the foregoing reasons, T-Mobile respectfully submits that the proposed modifications to the abovereferenced telecommunications facility constitute an exempt modification underR.C.S.A. § 16-50j-72(b)(2).

Emissions Analysis for Site: CT11508F - CT508//Verizon Chaplin
EBI Consulting was directed to analyze the proposed T-Mobile facility located at 123 Palmer Road in Chaplin, Connecticut for the purpose of determining whether the emissions from the Proposed T-Mobile Antenna Installation located on this property are within specified federal limits.
All information used in this report was analyzed as a percentage of current Maximum Permissible Exposure (% MPE) as listed in the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01and ANSI/IEEE Std C95.1. The FCC regulates Maximum Permissible Exposure in units of microwatts per square centimeter (µW/cm2). The number of µW/cm2 calculated at each sample point is called the power density. The exposure limit for power density varies depending upon the frequencies being utilized. Wireless Carriers and Paging Services use different frequency bands each with different exposure limits; therefore, it is necessary to report results and limits in terms of percent MPE rather than power density.
All results were compared to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) radio frequency exposure rules, 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(1) – (b)(3), to determine compliance with the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for General Population/Uncontrolled environments as defined below.
General population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general population may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore, members of the general population would always be considered under this category when exposure is not employment related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a nearby residential area.
Public exposure to radio frequencies is regulated and enforced in units of microwatts per square centimeter (μW/cm2). The general population exposure limits for the 600 MHz and 700 MHz frequency bands are approximately 400 μW/cm2 and 467 μW/cm2, respectively. The general population exposure limit for the 1900 MHz (PCS), 2100 MHz (AWS) and 11 GHz frequency bands is 1000 μW/cm2. Because each carrier will be using different frequency bands, and each frequency band has different exposure limits, it is necessary to report percent of MPE rather than power density.

Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general population/uncontrolled limits (see below), as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.

CALCULATIONS
Calculations were done for the proposed T-Mobile Wireless antenna facility located at 123 Palmer Road in Chaplin, Connecticut using the equipment information listed below. All calculations were performed per the specifications under FCC OET 65. Since T-Mobile is proposing highly focused directional panel antennas, which project most of the emitted energy out toward the horizon, all calculations were performed assuming a lobe representing the maximum gain of the antenna per the antenna manufacturer’s supplied specifications, minus 10 dB for directional panel antennas and 20 dB for highly focused parabolic microwave dishes, was focused at the base of the tower. For this report, the sample point is the top of a 6-foot person standing at the base of the tower.
For all calculations, all equipment was calculated using the following assumptions:
1) 2 LTE channels (600 MHz Band) were considered for each sector of the proposed installation. These Channels have a transmit power of 30 Watts per Channel.
2) 1 NR channel (600 MHz Band) was considered for each sector of the proposed installation. This Channel has a transmit power of 80 Watts.
3) 2 LTE channels (700 MHz Band) were considered for each sector of the proposed installation.
These Channels have a transmit power of 30 Watts per Channel.
4) 4 GSM channels (PCS Band - 1900 MHz) were considered for each sector of the proposed installation. These Channels have a transmit power of 30 Watts per Channel.
5) 2 LTE channels (PCS Band - 1900 MHz) were considered for each sector of the proposed installation. These Channels have a transmit power of 60 Watts per Channel.
6) 2 LTE channels (AWS Band – 2100 MHz) were considered for each sector of the proposed installation. These Channels have a transmit power of 60 Watts per Channel.

7) 1 LTE Traffic channel (LTE 1C and 2C BRS Band - 2500 MHz) was considered for each sector of the proposed installation. This Channel has a transmit power of 60 Watts.
8) 1 LTE Broadcast channel (LTE 1C and 2C BRS Band - 2500 MHz) was considered for each
sector of the proposed installation. This Channel has a transmit power of 20 Watts. 9) 1 NR Traffic channel (BRS Band - 2500 MHz) was considered for each sector of the proposed
installation. This Channel has a transmit power of 120 Watts. 10) 1 NR Broadcast channel (BRS Band - 2500 MHz) was considered for each sector of the
proposed installation. This Channel has a transmit power of 40 Watts.
11) All radios at the proposed installation were considered to be running at full power and were uncombined in their RF transmissions paths per carrier prescribed configuration. Per FCC OET Bulletin No. 65 - Edition 97-01 recommendations to achieve the maximum anticipated value at each sample point, all power levels emitting from the proposed antenna installation are increased by a factor of 2.56 to account for possible in-phase reflections from the surrounding environment. This is rarely the case, and if so, is never continuous.
12) For the following calculations, the sample point was the top of a 6-foot person standing at the base of the tower. The maximum gain of the antenna per the antenna manufacturer’s supplied specifications, minus 10 dB for directional panel antennas and 20 dB for highly focused parabolic microwave dishes, was used in this direction. This value is a very conservative estimate as gain reductions for these particular antennas are typically much higher in this direction.
13) The antennas used in this modeling are the Ericsson AIR 6419 for the 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz
/ 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz channel(s), the Commscope VV-65A-R1 for the 1900 MHz / 1900 MHz / 2100 MHz channel(s), the RFS APXVAARR24_43-U-NA20 for the 600 MHz / 600 MHz / 700 MHz channel(s) in Sector A, the Ericsson AIR 6419 for the 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz channel(s), the Commscope VV-65A-R1 for the 1900 MHz / 1900 MHz / 2100 MHz channel(s), the RFS APXVAARR24_43-U-NA20 for the 600 MHz / 600 MHz / 700 MHz channel(s) in Sector B, the Ericsson AIR 6419 for the 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz / 2500 MHz channel(s), the Commscope VV-65A-R1 for the 1900 MHz / 1900 MHz / 2100 MHz channel(s), the RFS APXVAARR24_43-U-NA20 for the 600 MHz / 600 MHz / 700 MHz channel(s) in Sector C. This is based on feedback from the carrier with regard to anticipated antenna selection. All Antenna gain values and associated transmit power levels are shown in the Site Inventory and Power Data table below. The maximum gain of the antenna per the antenna manufacturer’s supplied specifications, minus 10 dB for directional panel antennas and 20 dB for highly focused parabolic microwave dishes, was used for all

calculations. This value is a very conservative estimate as gain reductions for these particular antennas are typically much higher in this direction.
14) The antenna mounting height centerline of the proposed antennas is 117 feet above ground level (AGL).
15) Emissions values for additional carriers were taken from the Connecticut Siting Council active database. Values in this database are provided by the individual carriers themselves.
16) All calculations were done with respect to uncontrolled / general population threshold limits.

Summary
All calculations performed for this analysis yielded results that were within the allowable limits for general population exposure to RF Emissions.
The anticipated maximum composite contributions from the T-Mobile facility as well as the site composite emissions value with regards to compliance with FCC’s allowable limits for general population exposure to RF Emissions are shown here:
T-Mobile Sector Power Density Value (%) Sector A: 15.80% Sector B: 15.80% Sector C: 15.80%
T-Mobile Maximum MPE % (Sector A):
15.80%
Site Total: 29.14%
Site Compliance Status: COMPLIANT
The anticipated composite MPE value for this site assuming all carriers present is 29.14% of the allowable FCC established general population limit sampled at the ground level. This is based upon values listed in the Connecticut Siting Council database for existing carrier emissions.
FCC guidelines state that if a site is found to be out of compliance (over allowable thresholds), that carriers over a 5% contribution to the composite value will require measures to bring the site into compliance. For this facility, the composite values calculated were well within the allowable 100% threshold standard per the federal government.
